Too bad they fucked over the country so much, 90% of people in the military are just poor people that cant afford college (or to live in general). I dont think these people will join some white supremacist fucks

Some of them might, and if a few state governments decide to side with them a lot of people will get hurt. Even if they lose.

A lot of people gloss over this fact. Most of the folks I served with were poor Latino kids looking for GI Bill money to pay for school. Myself included, minus the Latino part.

Its not just red yokels from Nebraska who can tag an Ivan at 300m. You’re 100p correct, most of the folks in the military would not want to harm other Americans. Most of those guys are patriotic in the good sense.
